The World Health Organization (WHO) defines traumatic injuries as either intentional (interpersonal violence related, war‐related, or self‐inflicted injuries) or unintentional injuries (motor vehicle collisions, falls, etc.). Traumatic injuries are the leading cause of death in the United States for people aged 1–44 years [1]. Worldwide, traumatic injuries are the ninth leading cause of death and disproportionately affects males and those in low and middle‐ income countries (LMIC) [2]. By 2030, the WHO projects a 28% increase in global deaths due to trauma and injury [3].
